Baldwin EMC Honors Shining Star Students for February and March

Baldwin EMC is excited to announce the latest recipients of the Shining Star Student award. These students were nominated for displaying the Touchstone Energy characteristics of integrity, innovation, accountability and commitment to community.

Stephany and Diego Pierluissi, two students at Elberta Middle School, were named Baldwin EMC’s Shining Star Students of the Month for February. They were nominated by the school’s principal, Katy White.

The duo moved from Venezuela late last year; and when they started school at Elberta Middle neither student spoke English. “They worked hard daily to learn English and in less than a year, can now talk with their teachers and peers. Not only did they learn a whole new language quickly, but they also serve as role models to all students with their display of maturity, responsibility and acceptance of students from all walks of life,” wrote White.

Dart Harris, an eighth-grade student at Foley Middle School, was named Baldwin EMC’s Shining Star Student of the Month for March. He was nominated by his teacher, Tracy Brooks.

Brooks wrote in her nomination that Harris has a bright and cheerful presence and is an amazing person. “There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t see him smiling and finding joy in life. He is kind to others, respectful to teachers and works hard to be successful in his learning,” wrote Brooks.

The awards were presented by WALA FOX 10 TVs Meteorologist Michael White and Baldwin EMCs Education and Public Relations Specialist Caroline Smith.
